Yeah, sorry about that Colin. Nothing personal. I just find it difficult to listen to most long U-Tube videos.That wasn't the point. For someone new to photography like me, and who hasn't taken any wildlife shots before, then it was the "25 minutes of chatter" that was most revealing. The tips about watching the behaviour first, about following with the eyes before lifting the camera etc were great. Rather than getting a photo of a bird sitting on a fence they discussed how to get photos about a bird and its behaviour and the examples shown of "good" compared to "ordinary" were very instructive. That might come naturally to an experienced photographer like you, but to me it was invaluable and I not only learnt a lot but I've been inspired to try some bird photography... and I can't ask for more than that. The bit about settings was the most obvious part of the whole video to me and probably most people on this forum too.
I appreciate that not everyone can (or want) to afford a Z9 + 600mm (or want to carry that weight and size) so the M43 info was useful. Thanks.
I understand that these are often helpful to many people, but I prefer reading books, etc, where I can go back and forth as the need arises.
